Listowel Harvest Festival

The Listowel Harvest Festival is always special with large crowds and fabulous racing and entertainment lined up for the week. Held at Listowel Racecourse, in the beautiful County Kerry on the West Coast of Ireland. The new stand offers public bars and restaurant, together with a reserved upper level with dining room and Corporate Hospitality Suites. In addition to the extensive stand facilities, bars, food outlets and on-course betting facilities are also available to patrons. In true festival style fashion plays a big part with themed days occuring each day (except Wednesday ).

Listowel is a busy town but has little accommodation. For race-goers Tralee is the place to stay. A bigger town with much more to offer. Excellent Bars, Restaurants, Hotels and attractions on your doorstep with Listowel racecourse only 25 minutes away. Guest Advice: This is a very busy race meeting so please BOOK EARLY. Bookings close on 10th August 2024.

The Races

A great mix of Flat and Jump Racing

Key races feature on each day of the week with the premier days being On the racecourse Wednesday features the iconic Kerry National, a prestigious jump race with an illustrious roll of honour. Friday is Ladies Day and by far the busiest day of the week. It seems like the whole of County Kerry attends!. That said good quality and exciting races take place on all of the days with cards featuring ultra competitive racing. Altogether a fabulous week in a very scenic part of Ireland with much to offer the many vistors the festival attracts each year.

Racing at Listowel takes place in the afternoon and some evenings each day and our recommendation is to attend Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Friday if you dare - attend all week and you'll be a local !!
